2.    Explore options to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the economic value of hunting and trapping in Canada.

3.    Ensure that habitat conservation programs also include conservation of populations of hunted and trapped species.

4.    Communicate the benefits of hunting and trapping across Canada.

5.    Educate Canadians on programs in Environment Canada that support hunting and trapping.

6.    Support initiatives and programs that help to recruit new hunters and trappers.

7.    Minimize red tape to make it easier for people to take up hunting.

8.    Implement incentive-based programs to conserve habitat on the working landscape.

9.    Investigate the use of best practices amongst other levels of government that manage nuisance wildlife.

10. Implement programs that enhance the populations of wildlife species that are hunted and/or trapped, where appropriate to ensure sustainable use.

11. Continue to support the Hunting and Angling Advisory Panel (HAAP).

12. Support holding a National Conference on Wildlife to help celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Canada.
